I'm curious about the turnover ratio other members have in their datnoid setups.
(Mine is about 10x.)
...Also curious about how strong currents are at collection points (Mekong river and such), in order to simulate their natural habitat conditions.
 
Not sure my turnover too lazy to calcuate it. 2 fx5s on a 180. Plus dual air stones.
my dats seem to like the calmer area but are not afraid of the current.
 
Hi nomad. Turnover is 10,000 l / hour ( 10x tank volume)
Lots of surface agitation , no deadspots.
I always found tigers, and I believe that tigers like strong current .
 
just uped mine today it was 36,000 lph as of today its now 66,000 lph on a 1000 gal tank works out about 15 x per hour
 
On my 75g, I have a turn over of 5x while my 110g gets 10x
 
right the extra flow seams to have worked well so when i have some extra cash im going to swap my other 2 18,000 lph pumps to 30,000 lph giving me a turn over of 90,000 lph :nilly:
